Where are you putting this?
In the Control Source of control on a form/report?
Then it should work as posted provided that [Session Start Date 2]
and [ID] are in the object's record source.
In a query?
Then you just need a field alias and drop the = sign;
MyHelpText: "HELP" & Format([Session Start Date 2],"yyyy\:mm") & [ID]

What you proposed should work correctly, if it's in the Control Source of the
textbox. I'd add some blanks:
="HELP" & Format([Session Start Date 2],"yyyy\:mm") & [ID]
If this isn't working for you please amplify - what's the context? Is this on
a Form, a Report, in a query? What error are you getting?

This is the control source in a subform :
I tried slimming it down using fields in the subform
[Financial ID]:Format([DateofLoanAgreementSigned],"yyyy\:mm") & [ID]
because Session Start Date 2 isn't in the subform table. So what do you
think I should do it's saying Expressions must begin with an ='s sign
So when I try =Format([DateofLoanAgreementSigned],"yyyy\:mm") & [ID]
it says Circular Reference

What is the name of the control whose source you want to modify? If it
is either DateofLoanAgreementSigned or ID, I don't think it will work.

Thanks John it's working now that I called the textbox Financial ID and used
ID as the reference it stopped the circular reference. Thanks so much!

Adding hyperlinks with parametersHey everybody
I have a batch file which needs to be run from an excel sheet with a
parameter, like this:
c:\1.bat myParameter
But when i try to run the Hyperlink, the Excel shows an error message
saying it can't open the specified file (probably because the is a
space between the file and the parameter)
is there any known way to run the link from the excel?

Text area renderingI have a word template email that I have created in Word 2000 that
contains a text area (white box with scroll bar to enter text into).
When I send this all service providers have no problems rendering it
and allowing the user to add information to the box when they reply to
the message. The only issue I'm having is with Outlook 2000, and it
just started today. When I choose reply in the email with the text
area and double click on the text area, it moves the cursor inside of
the text box like it should. Now, in the past (5 days ago) and with
online providers I can then type into the box. ...

How might I go about doing that?

Change your first query to include the extra fields.

where the payees in my downloaded transactions are automatically added
to my payee list (this despite the fact that I've checked off the
